[Radiance-general] Sketchup exporter script

[Greg Ward]

Hi Steve,

What is RAYPATH set to at this point?  Due to the way xform searches  
for files, if "." is not in the RAYPATH (e.g., ".:/usr/local/lib/ 
ray") it may not find files in and below the local directory if they  
are not given as "./path" or as a full path starting from the root.

I hope this helps.
